I’ve been in the insurance industry since 2004 when I sold Medicare Advantage and Life Insurance in Charleston, SC.
In 2006 I met my future wife and we came to Cadillac for her sisters wedding. I fell in love with Northern Michigan and we moved up here a few months later.
I started going to college at Baker College in Cadillac and working at AAR Mobility while I finished school. In 2014, I graduated with a Bachelor’s in Business Administration.
Shortly after graduation, I started working for the State of Michigan as a Disability Examiner.
After I spent 3 years a Disability Examiner for Social Security, my mother was diagnosed with lung cancer. She never stopped working until the day she went into the hospital to die.
She didn’t have any personal life insurance and couldn’t afford to go out on Disability, even though she qualified. It re-ignited my passion for Insurance and I became re-licensed in Michigan.
When I tell you I understand how important insurance is to a person’s quality of life, please know I’ve lived through a close family member being unprepared.
